Alrecenk<p>One player didn't catch that a character was lying, while another player was annoyed it was hinted at again after they got it. I was told there was too much story, but then also that the longest piece of story on a level was good. It was suggested that I don't need to bother explaining a specific game thing, but it was also suggested I should add a whole cut-scene system to make that thing extra clear. Naturally, I got a suggestion to change my entire game's aesthetic as well as to add several completely new game systems. <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gamedev</span></a> <a href="https://peoplemaking.games/tags/playtesting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>playtesting</span></a></p>
